1 week until the surgery

 As the day approaches I can't help but feel apprehensive about the whole thing.  Not about the actual surgery, but about not being near my kids for the 2 days I'm in the hospital.  I've never been away from them. EVER!  If you are a mom then you can completely relate. My husband told me 2 days will be nothing compared to dying from cancer and never seeing them again.

The official date

 On May 11 I will say goodbye to two friends that I have had my whole life.  They have been with me through dates and breakups.  They have fed my two kids and 3 others. I have the BRCA-2 gene.  For those that don't know what that is,  I will tell you.  It's a gene mutation that is passed to you from mom or dad. It affects the breasts, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.  I have a 90 to 95 percent chance I will get at least if not all 3 of these cancers. I lost my mom, who was my best friend,  6 years ago in September.  That will be another post in itself. My husband is the one who actually wanted me to do a blog.  I will need 4 to 6 weeks to heal and he thinks this will keep me sain. If you are reading along in my journey that's awesome at least I have one person I have informed.
